Boise State vs. Tulsa College Football Picks: Ranked sixth in both AP and USA-Today/Coaches' college football picks polls, the undefeated (5-0) Boise State University Broncos' football team will perhaps face their last tough test of the 2009 season when they travel to Tulsa, Oklahoma on Wednesday (Oct. 14) to play the Tulsa University Golden Hurricane of C-USA in an ESPN televised game.
College football picks oddsdmakers at BetUS.com show Tulsa as – more than a touchdown – +9 chalk ATS and +290 ML SU home dog to the Broncos. BetUS has yet to post total (Over/Under) odds for this game.Wednesday's Boise – Tulsa matchup is huge for both schools. Tulsa, an up-and-coming program, views Boise State as a measuring stick. The Broncos are seen as a team leading the pack of non-BCS mid-major programs. Due to their successes, the Broncos have achieved high-rankings in the polls. Already this year, Boise State has a big win over (current No. 13) Oregon of the Pac 10. While Tulsa has enjoyed success in the Todd Graham era, finding a signature victory has been elusive. In 2008, a ranked Tulsa squad scheduled a road date with the Arkansas Razorbacks where they lost. This season the Golden Hurricane played at Oklahoma where they were soundly defeated 45-0.
Tulsa has enjoyed wins over Tulane, New Mexico, (FCS) Sam Houston State and Rice, teams hardly considered difficult competition.
After Boise State's 19-8 season opening over Oregon, the team was impressive in victories over Miami(Ohio), Fresno State, Bowlling Green and Cal-Davis. The Bronco's are 5-0 both SU and ATS.
College Football Picks: Boise State will not be intimidated in what is expected to be a sold-out Chapman Stadium. However – betting the Bronco's at -9 could be a risky proposition. While the Broncos will win the game, I like Tulsa +9 as a home dog.
